On May 31, BTS posted a video on Twitter captioned, “Opening Ceremony: Skit about 2017 Festa.” The video run for about a minute and twenty seconds and became an instant hit. Well, they weren’t awarded the Top Social Artist Award for nothing, right?

The video has been viral since. It’s had around 115k retweets and 178k likes in a matter of twelve hours. The challenge is it’s in pure Korean but fans all over still think it’s the most wonderful news they’ve heard. Thanks to netizens who posted translations in the comment thread, they get bits and pieces of what the skit was all about.

Thankfully, there is a translated version of the whole thing on YouTube. The gist is that Rap Monster (Nam-joon) was cooking up a song with V (Tae-hyung) which Jimin and the others say they haven’t heard yet. Suga (Yoong-gi) says he was the main character of this year’s Festa. V talks about J-Hope’s (Ho-seok) black hair and Jin comments on how everyone is all about J-hope these days.

The group also posted a timetable of the 2017 BTS Festa. On June 2, they will be having the BTS Photo Collection, a presentation of “We Don’t Talk Anymore” on June 3, and a BTS Focus Exclusive Stage Cam on June 4. More special events await fans this month.
